Learn, play and relax at Cantigny Park, located 25 miles west of Chicago in the city of Wheaton. The 500-acre park was given to the people of Illinois by Colonel Robert R. McCormick as part of his will. The park serves as home to McCormick Museum, the First Division Museum, two golf courses, Fareways Restaurant, and 15 acres of manicured gardens.

When you need to get away from it all, spend some time at this sanctuary. See the rose collection and the Idea Garden that demonstrates unique gardening ideas. The park is used for events and programs throughout the year. You can see art shows and attend gardening classes or even learn to play golf. Check park and museum timings before you go.

Nearby Chicago attractions include Chicago Golf Club, Prairie Landing Golf Club and Morton Arboretum.

If you wish to dine at the nearby Sullivan's Steakhouse, call in your reservation ahead of time. 120 Ocean Place (630-690-2100) also located nearby serves fresh seafood.
